1Password wades into a right-wing mess after funding a Linux project (www.theverge.com)

1Password faced immediate backlash from customers this week over a $300,000 pledge in support of a Linux distro created by David Heinemeier Hansson, who has regularly published overtly racist blog posts that include comments calling for deportation of ethnic minorities in Europe. The popular password manager is now a “distinguished corporate patron” of Omacom, the nonprofit foundation that oversees a popular Linux distribution known as Omarchy.

I'm not OP but yeah, basically. People who are passionate about a specific topic will know what's up in that area.

I can name half a dozen of the most popular Arch-based distros off the top of my head because... they're actually well-known. Meaning they've been around for years, I've used several personally and can argue their pros and cons, and they feature prominently in objective lineups like the Steam Hardware Survey. Omarchy is none of these things.
